Performing Online Setup

Performing Online Setup

The procedures explained in the preceding sections use offline setup mode. Offline setup mode makes setting printer features one by one from the control panel easier by printing the desired options for checking.

In online setup mode, printer features are set via the processor instead of the printer control panel.

1.Place the printer in online setup mode in one of two ways:

•Turn off the printer and then turn it back on while pressing MENU. Hold down the button until the printer beeps. (Printers with the LCD control panel can be placed in the online setup mode only in the next way.)

•Issue printer command ESC e ONLINE. This command is valid in any emulation.

2.Send setup data from the processor in one of three ways:

•Enter setup data directly from the processor keyboard before starting work. For MS-DOS, hold down Ctrl and type P; data entered from the keyboard is sent directly to the printer. When data entry is complete, hold down Ctrl again and type P. This procedure is useful when you are changing just a few settings.

•Use an editor to prepare a setup data file and send the file to the printer using a command. For MS-DOS, use the COPY command. This procedure is useful when you are using settings repeatedly.

•Write a program that enables interactive entry of setup data on the screen. This procedure is the most useful among the three. Check with your dealer regarding the latest available programs.

3.Exit online setup mode by sending EXIT as the last setup data.
